Can a Discord bot invite other bots? Can Discord bots automatically accept invites they get in a DM? How would one go about doing this?
Is it possible to make a bot that accepts invites, or do bots have to be invited themselves.
No, this is not possible.
Users must invite the bot themselves to join the server. I'm not sure I understand the use case here, because users can get similar functionality by simply inviting the bot.
To generate an invite link, start by heading to the Discord developer portal.
Then, head to the "OAuth2" tab:
Scroll down and find the URL generator. You'll need to select the following:
Generally you'll want to calculate the permissions, but this will work for now.
Now, if you want users to invite your bot, you just need to share them this link!

Is it possible to make a bot to automatically message people in my friends list or everyone from a specific server where i'm not an administrator? Where would i start, i know some Python but never worked with Discord bots, i was thinking this shouldn't be too hard as a first one?
I know i've received various messages / adveritsements from people on discord that i wouldn't think are admin on any server i'm on. Unless its done manually?
If you are wanting to write your own Discord bot in python, have a look at discord.py, follow the tutorial which will show you how to write simple commands and automated responses.

You must have the required permissions to add the bot to the discord server. A role with 'regular' permissions will typically not allow you to do this. Additionally you can only have discord bots bound to a server, so a 'personal' bot that follows you around different servers is not really feasible.
I think what you're talking about is a self bot, which is against the Discord TOS and will likely get your account banned. If you want to get a bot on a Discord Server you'll have to ask an administrator.
I have a problem, and that is that every moment I get this error: DiscordAPIError: Missing Permissions and I don't know where it comes from or why
I'm not sure if anyone will still run into this issue but if you do. It could be a problem with your BOT being a lower level than the user or whatever your trying to do. For example most people have the Owner role on the top right? right. Well if you're trying to do something to a user above your bot like if the role BOT is under MEMBER and you try Banning MEMBER with BOT it won't work. Hope this helps
In 2021 this error can be fixed, if you are trying to let's say for example to create a ban all command for your discord bot, YOU HAVE TO DO THIS BEFORE GIVING UP ON IT. First go to https://discord.com/developers/applications and click on your bot's account then go to the option bot(the location were you get the bot token) then turn on those options:
EASY DIRECTIONS: Discord Developer Portal>(Click on your bot's account)>Bot(the place were you are getting the token from)>Privileged Gateway Intents>PRESENCE INTENT(TURN IT ON IF IT'S OFF)>SERVER MEMBERS INTENT(IT'S LOCATED IN THE SAME PAGE, TURN IT ON IF IT'S OFF) Those are the main thing that you have to do and then you can start to make your command!
In addition to the other answers given, I also needed to go to Server Settings > Roles. There you have a draggable list of roles available on your server. Drag your bots auto-assigned role (the bots name) to the top of the list. This will give it permission to assign subordinate roles.
I ran into this problem and it was because that I didn't give my bot the role to write in the channel. So make sure that your bot has the persmission to your channel.
I'm using discord.js and I want to create a bot to retreive all the links of a certain channel, but I don't know if it's posible enter to a foreign server with the dicord api, for example join to this server https://discordapp.com/invite/C89qHyt.
Edited:
if it is posible, how I do that?
With a bot account, the client can't enter a server on its own. You have to use OAuth2 to invite the bot to the server. You'll also need the MANAGE_SERVER permission in the server you're trying to add the bot to.
To generate the invite link for your bot, this site may prove very useful.
you can't just add a bot to a group with no invite or permission.
You can't make it join. You have to create a invite link and let the server admin to invite it.
I've been playing with the REST API for writing kik bots and it seems very straightforward to do powerful things.
The kik bot I'm familiar with is RAGE, and that has a feature that when talking to it you send it 'friend' command and it responds by being your friend, which makes it able to be invited into a group you're in.
My question is, what API call is being made by the bot when it receives a 'friend' command. My test bot can't be invited to a group and I'd like it to be able to.
Feels like I'm missing a bunch of logic but not sure what - anyone assist?
Rage bot does not use official kik api Rage bot is not a bot account from kik, It's an user account. Hence It's a self bot. There is an open source python library that allows you to turn an user account into a Bot and Rage bot uses that exact same api you can find the github page here
Is there any API to get list of all the servers to which the discord owner(user) is connected.
I want to write a bot to manage all the servers connected to discord owner's account.
As Jeremy mentioned you can use https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/resources/user#get-current-user-guilds if logged in as the user you're trying to get guilds of. A total list of Guilds isn't possible to get for other users though, you'll only get mutual/shared guilds displayed for others.
